Prayer Times in Lahore
Lahore observes Pakistan Standard Time (UTC+5) year-round with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with a clock change. At roughly 31.5 degrees north, the city sees a clear seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times on this page are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method, the standard widely used across Pakistan.

Ramadan in Lahore
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Lahore runs from Fajr (Suhoor ends at the start of Fajr) through to Maghrib, when the fast is broken at Iftar. Because Lahore keeps Pakistan Standard Time year-round with no daylight saving, the timing of Suhoor and Iftar each day follows the natural movement of the sun rather than any clock adjustment.
The exact length of the fasting day depends on where Ramadan falls in the year. When the month occurs in summer, longer days at Lahore's latitude mean an earlier Suhoor and a later Iftar, while a winter Ramadan brings shorter fasting hours with Maghrib arriving in the late afternoon. Check this page daily for the current Fajr and Maghrib times that mark the start and end of the fast.
